Marty Feldman

British author, actor, comedian and director

1934 – 1982aged 48

Feldman built a career as both a sharp comedy writer and a distinctive performer, co-writing the Four Yorkshiremen sketch later adopted by Monty Python and winning two British Academy Television Awards for his own show, Marty. He is best remembered on screen as Igor in Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein (1974), a performance built around his prominent, misaligned eyes that won him the first-ever Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor.
